(Jean's P.O.V.)
Here's how I met Goliath and his clan. A few weeks ago, I was sent to by Charles to find a mutant that he had sensed with Cerebro, and let me tell you, the place I am in is a very bad neighborhood. I hoped that the mutant was okay.
After searching for a bit, I came across a construction site, and I heard soft crying. I then went over inside a warehouse, finding the mutant, and it was a little girl. I went over to her.
"Hey, it's okay. You're safe now.", I said softly as I went upon my knees to face her equally, and the little girl then looked at me. "Are you Jean?", she asked in anxiety and curiosity.
"Yes, I am.", I said with a smile, nodding lightly. "Why were you by yourself?", I asked softly. "My parents left me here..They called me a freak.", The little girl sobbed loudly as I rubbed her back in comfort.
It was much more worse for mutants when they are kids. Sometimes their parents would abandon them or abuse them, and even worse, try to kill them.
"You're not a freak, sweetheart. You are special.", I said warmly. "Where am I going to live?", The little girl cried as she hiccuped softly.
"I'm here to take you to the Xavier school. There are other people like you.", I said with a soft smile, and I held out my hand and the little girl smiled hopefully as she spoke quietly, "Tammy's my name.".
She then took my hand as I smiled bigger, "That's a pretty name. Let's get out of here, Tammy.". We were about to exit the warehouse when these thugs came out of nowhere. Quickly, I picked up Tammy, and held her close.
"Well, look what we have here, two freaks to kill!", one of them sneered. I glared at them furiously as I protected Tammy, her face hiding into my shoulder. I then sensed one of them trying to sneak behind me, and I used my telekinesis to sent him flying.
The others tried to charge at me, but I used my telekinesis again to sent them flying to the wall, and I ran out of the warehouse as I then placed Tammy on the ground. "Go hide!", I ordered her quickly.
Tammy nodded, and she quickly ran to hide. I saw the thugs start to run at me, and I quickly started to fight them. Thank god that Natasha taught me self defense as I was able to take out a few of them.
Just when one was about to tackle me, I then saw a figure tackle the thug to the ground, and I then saw that it was a Gargoyle! But I thought Light was the only Gargoyle left, but it turns out that I was wrong.
I took a closer look at him. He had lavender skin, long black hair, and he was very big and tall. I then heard a police car, and I turned around to see a police car, and even more Gargoyles!
I saw a woman with bluish-black hair come out from her car, and I was about to go over to her when another thug tried to attack me. I quickly tripped him, and I then started to fight the thugs again.
The other Gargoyles joined me, and some of the thugs were now running away. I then heard a cry, and I saw Tammy having a gun aimed at her.
"No!", I shouted in horror as I was running over to her, and then a Gargoyle like beast pushed the thug away from her. I sighed in relief when I saw Tammy hug the Gargoyle beast gratefully.
"Thank you.", Tammy said with a sob as the Gargoyle beast rumbled with a moan, nuzzling her softly like a dog. I then heard a noise, and I saw the big blue Gargoyle hit a brick wall.
To my horror, I saw the building start to fall over, precisely to where Tammy and that blue gargoyle dog are! I saw the Gargoyle dog shield her. "Bronx, watch out!", A gargoyle that had a elderly appearance shout to who I assume is Bronx.
Thinking fast, I floated to the falling building, and I had my hands out, using my Telekinesis to stop the building from falling, and at the same time, I was covered in a fiery aura while I felt my eyes turning red.
I could hear the Gargoyles and the female cop gasp in shock as I started to use my powers to disintegrate the building. "What's she doing?", I heard the red Gargoyle ask in amazement.
"It looks like she is stopping the building from falling!", I heard the green Gargoyle say. "But how is she doing it?", I heard the big blue Gargoyle ask in confusion.
"And who is this girl?", I heard the lavender Gargoyle ask in amazement. "Oh, my god! It's Jean Grey!", I heard the female cop scream in joy.
I felt a small smile come to my face as I kept disintegrating the building. "Jean Grey?", The elderly gargoyle asked in confusion. The building now had completely turned to dust, and I felt myself float back down to the ground as the fiery aura was gone.
I walked over to Bronx and Tammy, and I patted Bronx on the head warmly after he sniffed my hand. "Thank you for saving her.", I said with a grateful smile, and the Gargoyle dog kinda smiled at me with a loud bark.
I then turned around to see the Gargoyles and the female cop staring at me with awe. "Hello. So, you all now know that my name is Jean Grey. Thanks for helping me, and I would like to know your names.", I said with a delighted and grateful grin.
The female cop was the first one to speak, and she shook my hand eagerly. "My name is Elisa Maza, and it's such an honor to meet you, Jean Grey.", Elisa said to me with a smile.
I smiled with a nod. "And these are my Gargoyle friends.", Elisa introduced with a hand. "My name is Brooklyn and what you just did was epic!", Brooklyn said with a grin.
"I'm Broadway, and I agree with Brooklyn. You were amazing!", Broadway said with a bellow. "My name is Lexington. How were you glowing?", Lexington asked me in curiosity.
"My name is Hudson, and I was very impressed.", Hudson said with a smile and a slight nod of respect. Then the lavender Gargoyle then walked forward, and I got a better look at him, but I can't help to admit that he is handsome.
"How is it possible that you were able to destroy that building?". Goliath rumbled softly with confusion. "Well, I have the X-gene which allows us Mutants to develop special abilities.", I explained with a grin.
"X-gene?", Lexington asked, blinking in confusion. "Mutants?" Goliath asked with a widened expression of awe and confusion.
"It's kinda hard to explain. I think I would like to explain it to you in a much more safer place, but I have to take Tammy to the Xavier school.", I said with a sheepish shrug.
"Xavier school?", Hudson asked in curiosity. "You really don't know anything about the X-men or the Avengers?", I asked with shock. Everybody knows about the X-men or the Avengers! Well, except for them, apparently.
The Gargoyles all had a confused look on their faces. "I guess I will have to explain to you all.", I said with a chuckle.
"That would be great. I've been meaning to update the current events with these guys, but stuff took over.". Elisa smiled sheepishly with a grateful nod.
"Thanks. You give me the address, and I will head over there by dusk.", I said with a grin. I was about to leave when Goliath called my name, and I turned around to see Goliath smiling softly at me.
"Thank you for saving Bronx. You are in my debt, Jean Grey.", He held out his hand to me. I let out a smile as I shook his hand, "No need to do that, Goliath. Besides, you've saved my life from that thug. We're even.". Goliath nodded with a smile in understanding.
I then went over to Tammy, and I picked her up. "If you want to, I could give a lift for you guys get out of this bad neighborhood, at least.", Elisa offered with a gesture to her police car.
"I would like that, thanks." I said with a grateful smile. I then walked over to Elisa's police car, and I got in, buckling Tammy in, and myself as well. In a minute, Elisa started to drive, and I looked out to see the Gargoyles following us.
I can't wait to tell Light that her old clan is alive. I'm sure that she is going to be very happy! Once Elisa had dropped me off, I called for Logan to take me to the X-mansion so I can drop off Tammy, and he showed up 5 minutes later, and he drove off to the mansion with me in the back of his motorcycle with Tammy in my arms.
Charles had asked me if anything bad had happened, but I lied, saying that a few thugs had attacked me yet I was able to handle them by myself. I also made sure that he couldn't read my mind just so I can keep Goliath and his clan a secret, at least for a while.
I said goodbye to my friends as I headed back to the Avengers tower, and I went to my bedroom. I changed into my pajama clothes, and I kept thinking about what a night it was. I met Gargoyles, and they were from the same clan as Light was!
I can't wait to see them again tomorrow, but I kept getting a feeling that I was most looking forward to seeing Goliath again. I blushed brightly in embarrassment and shock. I hadn't had this feeling when Scott and I were dating, and I haven't dated anyone ever since I broke up with Scott.
I then laid down on my bed, and I laid my head on the soft pillow. The last thing on my mind was Goliath and his clan. The next day, I did what I usually did.
I would go hang out in the main room of the tower with Tony, Steve, Natasha and Bruce, and during the day, we would go on a mission if there was one.
Once it was sunset, I was waiting at the park for Elisa to pick me up, and I soon saw her police car. "Hop in.", Elisa said with a grin. I got in the front seat of the car, and then she drove off.
"I can sense that you haven't slept well.", I said with a amused smile. "I just can't believe that I am friends with Jean Grey now! Er, are we friends?", Elisa asked nervously with a glance at me.
"Of course we are friends.", I said with a smile. "Whew! I am actually relieved to hear that.", Elisa laughed, the anxiety leaving her face, and I chuckled lightly.
I then saw a tall building up ahead, and to my amazement, the building looked like it was rising above the clouds as I couldn't see the top. Elisa then stopped her car, and we both got out.
"Goliath and the others are on the top.", Elisa told me with a nod as we went inside. "Elisa, what is this place?", I asked in curiosity as I looked around.
"This building belongs to David Xanatos.", Elisa said with a grumble. David Xanatos! I have heard about him as he is a rich businessman, basically the same level as Tony is, and I could see those two becoming rivals if they ever met.
Elisa and I walked to a elevator, and we went inside. Elisa pressed a button, and the elevator was moving to the top floor. "So Elisa, how come Goliath and his clan doesn't know anything about the Avengers or the X-Men?", I asked in confusion.
"Well, they were in a stone sleep, and they woke up 3 months after you and the Avengers saved New York.", Elisa explained with a sheepish shrug.
"Stone sleep?", I asked curiously. "Well, we are here.", Elisa said as the elevator doors beeped open, and we walked through a short hallway, climbing up stairs.
